When negotiating domain sales, let the buyer name their price first whenever possible. Anchoring too high scares buyers away, anchoring too low leaves money on the table. Let them set the range.
The aftermarket platforms have different strengths. Afternic for high-volume exposure, Dan.com for clean landing pages with installment plans, Sedo for international buyers. Listing on multiple platforms simultaneously is the way.
Trademark domains are a minefield. Even if you register them legally (before the trademark existed), enforcement actions are expensive to fight. I stay away from any name that could be confused with a brand.
Domain valuation is part art, part science. CPC data from Google Keyword Planner, exact match search volume, comparable sales on NameBio — all important inputs, but market demand at the time of sale matters most.
ccTLDs are undervalued in my opinion. .de, .co.uk, .com.au — these have genuine end-user demand in their respective markets. If you know a country's market, there's opportunity.
Domain monetization while holding: quality content + organic traffic beats PPC parking every time. A developed domain generates more monthly income AND sells for a higher multiple.
Something I've found helpful: trademark domains are a minefield. Even if you register them legally (before the trademark existed), enforcement actions are expensive to fight. I stay away from any name that could be confused with a brand.
Worth mentioning: when pricing domains, always research comparable sales. NameBio's database is the best resource. A .com selling for $10K in one niche might sell for $50K in another based purely on industry demand.
In my experience, dNS history matters when acquiring domains. Check Wayback Machine and past DNS records. A domain with a history of spam or malware will carry that reputation baggage even after you clean it up.
